Official Newsletter of the KAYPRO USERS' GROUP 



YOU ARE CORDIALLY INVITED 



Mr. and Mrs. Digital 
and 

Mr. and Mrs. Microsoft 

request the honor of 
your presence at the 
marriage of their children 

CP/M 

to 
MS-DOS 

r.s.v.p. 

Why not? These two have been going steady 
for quite some time now. 

First it was the co-power board that 
allowed KUGGERs to get a start in the 
MS-DOS world. However, it only ran some 
of the DOS software. But it was a step in 
the right direction. Before long the 
co-power board was running LOTUS on a 
KAYPRO ! That was PROGRESS. 

Many Kaypro users also used DOS machines 
at work but had to use telephones and 
modems to transfer their work (mostly 
word processing or ASCII files). That 
problem was solved with the coming of the 
MuJti-format program. This program 
allowed CP/M users and MS-DOS users to 
format their disks so that they were 
interchangeable. This method was faster 
and a lot less expensive. 

Now there is a hard disk system that 
allows you to use both CP/M and MS-DOS on 
the SAME DRIVE! It was just introduced by 
WestWind (see advertisement inside), and 
it opens a whole new area of quasi- 
compatibi I i ty . 



We receive letters from KUGGERs who are 
using CP/M Kaypros and have recently 
purchased the Kaypro 2000, the MS-DOS 
portable. The movement of data and files 
does not seem to be a problem. They use 
the portable on the road or at home and 
then transfer files to the CP/M machine 
via a null modem cable. 

Although we, at KUG, enjoy the new 
software available for the DOS computers, 
DOS does not stack up to CP/M»s speed of 
operation. Now, we are happy to see that 
more and more software programmers and 
publishers are offering their DOS 
programs in CP/M as well. 

Since we do use both in our reviews and 
our public domain library (see inside), 
the new methods of moving files in CP/M 
and MS-DOS become an important part of 
KUG life. Technology moves quickly. 

Perhaps WestWind will come up with a 
method that will allow us to use both 
operating systems and have them talk to 
each other. 

» 

Imagine networking between 8 bit (CP/M) 
and 16 bit (MS-DOS) machines and then 
using one printer for output. 

Wouldn't it be nice to have a simple 
modification that would allow the Kaypro 
to have a front panel switch which would 
read "CP/M MS-DOS UNIX"? 

Perhaps, if the marriage takes place, the 
offspring may have the answer. Until then 



Keep those files moving.

Box 100 



Dear KUG, 

Since I seem to be one of very few people 
running Supercalc 2 on Kaypro, I would be 
glad to help any others who may be 
interested in using what I think is the 
easiest to learn and most powerful 
spreadsheet. 

I also run Supercalc 2 in CP/M86 on the 
SWI Co-Power Board with 256K. This 
permits 209K of usable capacity versus 
29K on a standard 64K machine. 

I would be interested in hearing from 
other Co-Power users. I have yet to be 
able to run any MS-DOS program or demo. I 
am able to get directories and read or 
print .HLP files or .DOC files, but all 
the programs seem to try to load and then 
stop . 

The newsletter is great! Every issue has 
several worthwhile additions to our 
"knowledge base." Thanks.

Dear KUG, 

ATTN: Perfect Writers 

Suppose you want to double-space in 
verbatim mode. Just before saving your 
text replace all your CR's (carriage 
returns) with double CR's. That is: 

ESC...R <CR> ESC with <CR> <CR> ESC 

To go back to single space, do the 
opposite:

Dear KUG, 



Dear KUG, 



Just a note to reinforce what others are 
writing about: As a "dedicated" CP/M user 
(Kaypro 2X] , I ask that you PLEASE keep 
up the information in KUGRAM on CP/M. It 
is invaluable, and given the industry 
move towards MS-DOS, I want to be sure I 
am involved as a subscriber with an 
organization that respects and continues 
to support good old CP/MM Thanks.

Dear KUG, 

It is time to renew my membership in KUG, 
so enclosed is my check for $15.00. I 
have enjoyed my subscription, especially 
the WordStar column by Chiang. I now use 
a COMPAQ Plus in conjuction with my job, 
so the "MS-DOS Stuff" column has been 
very helpful. Please keep the articles 
coming for both the novice and the 
technical user, as I have found all of 
them educational. Also, there are many of 
us using Perfect Software, so articles 
about ways to get more from the various 
programs wi I I be helpful. Keep up the 
good work.

Dear KUG, 

An even easier "fix" than Ernest Hutton's 
for screen glare is to get some black 
Velcro and use just the hooked piece. 
Measure the length from the top lefthand 
corner around the outside of the bezel to 
the bottom right hand corner. Cut a piece 
of Velcro that length, then slit it down 
the center lengthwise. Using tacky glue, 
glue it onto the outside edge of the 
bezel. Leave overnight. Your "kinky 
computer" can then have the stocking 
removed or replaced as desired. Very 
effective and easier than making a 
frame — at least for me it was.

Readers who haven't taken a look at the 
CP/M Stuff columns for July-Aug. and 
Sept. -Oct. are missing some excellent 
advice on how to set up menu-driven 
programs with only the CP/M utilities PIP 
and SUBMIT. These procedures will also 
work to set up directions and 
instructions for your programs, and 
provide easy entry as well. Having 
accumulated quite a few programs and 
disks for my Kaypro II computer in the 
last couple of years, I consider it 
important to be able to run a program 
without consulting the menual again, or 
trying to figure out files by looking at 
a directory. 

Instead of setting up a MENU file, I set 
up an INSTRUCT file which contains 
directions as to the nature of the 
program and how to go about booting it 
up. I've found that it is easier to use 
the non-document mode of WordStar, rather 
than PIP, to enter information into this 
file. You can experiment with multiple 
carriage returns at the top of the file 
to clear the screen of everything but 
your directions. This gives your 
directions a professional appearance on 
the screen. 

Then to get your directions to boot up 
automatically, copy your files to a fresh 
disk. At the end of the copy procedure, 
the computer asks for an initial command 
line (file name) to bypass the A> prompt. 
Here, just enter SUBMIT INSTRUCT, or S I 
if you have RENamed your files with just 
one letter for simplicity. 

Now all you have to do is pop your disk 
into the computer after you have first 
turned it on, or push the RESET button to 
watch it all happen without having to 
make a single key-stroke.

[Editor's note: Our thanks to Michael 
Gilhousen for his comments. We think he 
has a crystal ball for anticipating our 
current CP/M Stuff column. See page 18 of 
this issue for more on SUBMIT. We welcome 
other KUGGERs' letters telling us how 
they use this versatile program.] 



Dear KUG, 



Dear KUG, 



I would like to voluntarily and highly 
endorse a book on the use of MS-DOS 
entitled appropriately, RUNN I NG MS-DOS , 
by Van Wolverton (Microsoft Press, 1 984] - 
As an owner of a Kaypro 16, I share the 
dissatisfaction that many co-owners must 
also face with some of the documentation 
that comes with the machine. 

Although the bundled documentation on 
MS-DOS 2.11 is an excellent reference 
tool for that forgotten command or 
parameter — once the user has mastered 
the system, it is poor on teaching 
application; granted that was not its 
intention. On the other hand, RUNN ING 
MS-DOS is excellent on both counts. It 
teaches the use of DOS commands through 
clear, non-intelligence insulting 
explanations of what the command does [as 
well as what it doesn't], in addition to 
valuable applications that the user is 
likely to have a need for during the 
course of a session in front of the 
machine. 

Thanks go to A I Gerson for recommending 
the book to me. As he promised, it is one 
of the best books currently in print on 
this operating system... a must for all 
users using MS-DOS environments.

Dear KUG, 

We tried two different 10Mb external disk 
drives from Systems Peripherals 
Consultants in San Diego. Both failed 
within two days, ate our data, and were 
returned. If any KUG members are 
considering these and would like a 
detailed run-down of the many problems we 
had, call me at 808/935-2470, 9:00-5:30 
Monday - Saturday. The worst of it was 
that, after loading a complete inventory 
program (154 pages of data] and ledger, 
etc., the backup disks would only print 
hard copies — wouldn't reload back into my 
K-4 or the new K-10. Took 8 days of 
re-entering manually into the 10.

Hi lo, HI 96720 



I edit a newsletter similar to the 
KUGRAM. Tired of the sluggish performance 
of Perfect Writer and The Word Plus, I 
installed a 5 MHz speed-up kit from 
Highlands Microkit. While this helped, it 
was not enough. I decided to buy a 1 Mb 
RAM disk from Advent. While the product 
is excellent, the instructions were not. 
Several capacitors had to be moved to the 
bottom of the Kaypro II main board, and 
the RAM disk board could not be installed 
as described in the instructions. 

After the installation I powered up the 
computer and found that the improvement 
in performance was nothing short of 
incredible. Perfect Writer now loads in a 
fraction of a second, and disk swapping 
is virtually instantaneous, even with 
swap files greater than 64K. The Word 
Plus is so fast it's hard to believe I'm 
working the same program. In addition, 
the RAM disk is completely silent! 

To use the RAM disk I PIP over all of my 
software from floppies to the RAM disk, 
and use the two floppy drives as the 
auxiliary drives after logging on to the 
RAM disk. Since everything in the RAM 
disk would be lost if the computer is 
turned off, I wired in an extra switch to* 
turn off the floppy drives and the CRT 
when the computer is not in use, but 
still leave the rest of the circuitry 
powered . 

These simple changes have made my old 
Kaypro II '83 virtually a new 
computer — seemingly faster than the 
mini-computer I use at work. For $700, I 
consider it a bargain, especially 
considering the amount of time saved per 
issue of "The Cave Cricket Gazette" 
edited on this old workhorse. 

One last thing... From the results of 
your survey, few Kaypro users are using 
the Plu*Perfect enhancements. To all of 
you who have not done so, their 
Plu*Perfect Writer program could be the 
most useful $40 you've ever spent. (Their 
software is also compatible with my RAM 
disk.)

New W/P Users' Group 

A new users' group has been organized by 
the staff of KUG and KUGRAM. 

The Word/Processing Users' Group (W/PUG) 
offers the computer user another area of 
communication through the bi-monhly 
newsletter, SCROLL. 

SCROLL wi I I contain: 

Articles of interest to all users of word 
processing ... Articles of interest to 
writers, written by writers ... Articles 
on business writing, written by people in 
business ... Articles on * educational 
writing, written by educators ... A 
secretary's column written by a 
professional secretary. 

All areas of word/processing will be 
covered, including reviews of the latest 
W/P software enhancements, hardware and 
periphera I s . 

A public domain library of material used 
for word processing ... and available in 
more than 100 different disk formats 
wi I I a I so be offered . 

The format and operation of W/PUG will be 
similar to that of KUG. W/PUG will have a 
mail interchange column named BOX 144 and 
will help establish local W/P user groups 
around the world. 

W/PUG also plans to operate a national 
W/PUG Bulletin Board and will offer a 
complete telecommunications package to 
all members. A column of Best of W/PUG BB 
will become part of the newsletter. 

If you use your Kaypro for word 
processing, you should become a member of 
W/PUG. Send your name, address, phone 
number, the model of your computer and 
printer, the name of the word processor 
you are using along with $15.00 to: 

W/PUG 

P.O. BOX 144 

MALVERNE, NY 11565 

If you are a member of KUG, you can save 
20% by writing your KUG ID# on a check 
for only $12.00 sent to the above 
address. 



Perfect Filer Database 

You can have two database files on one 
disk if they are in different user areas, 
but keep in mind that each separate 
DATABASE needs its own MEMBER. H file. 

Thus, you can keep on one disk separate 
lists of private and business addresses 
which could share the same list formats. 
The list formats could be PIP'd over from 
one user area to another, but never 
attempt to PIP database files from one 
user area to another! You may change the 
user areas of DATABASE and MEMBER. H back 
and forth (using MAKE.C0M) or else make 
them accessible from different areas 
using public domain (such as DUPUSR.COM). 

If one of your database files is in user 
area 1 of drive B, then the following 
files must be accessible in user area 1 
of drive A, together with the COM files 
(FILER, MOVE, and CREATE): SETUP; MAIL; 
LIST; DEFSS; DEFPF0RM; DEFLF0RM; ACCIND; 
TERMINAL. DEF; and TEMPLATE. SAV. 

PERFECT FILER SUBSET 

Did you know that the subset commands 
"Greater than," "Less than," etc. 
recognize alphabetic characters as well 
as numbers? "Less than C*" means "word 
starting with A or B." (The manual does 
not specify this.) 



PERFECT FILER LIST FORMAT 

When preparing a list, the last line of 
the list can get lost. Precaution: 
include a "carriage return" string after 
the last logical field, or set the "page 
size" in the "page format" menu. 

Sometimes the bottom margin seems to be 
ignored and the printing continues down 
past that desired margin. The cause must 
be that each "member" occupies a number 
of lines greater than the margin. So, if 
the bottom margin is 10 lines and the 
member is formatted to occupy 11 lines, 
this could (sometimes) cause a problem. 
To avoid it, set the number of lines in 
the bottom margin at least equal to the 
number of lines occupied by the member.

Borland Says Thank You. 
You Treated Us Right. 
So Now It's Our Treat. 

There are lots of nice ways to say "Thank you." One of the nicest is, 
'We'll give you the best software at the lowest price," with special offers 
to you when you and your group buy Borland software. 



It was you and groups like yours 
that got us going, kept us going back 
in the days when the critics were say- 
ing "those guys will never make it." 

You recognized quality products at 
less than Jesse James prices. You 
appreciated the simplicity and fairness 
of our licensing agreements. Then 
and now, you like our "not copy- 
protected" policy. And our "60-day 
money-back guarantee" is special in a 
business where the most guarantee 
you'll get from some people is what 
we call the YOYO Guarantee ... 4 You 
ordered it, you own it, good luck!" 
Borland doesn't act that way. To us a 
guarantee is a commitment. You can 
depend on it. 

You were, and are, part of what has 
become a software revolution. 
An ongoing revolution because

Get Organized 

Most of us have accumulated a great many 
public domain files and put them on any 
disk that had the capacity to hold them. 
However, finding a particular file when 
we need it is another matter. To 
eliminate this confusion, I took the time 
to give my files some semblance of 
organization in order to minimize the 
time to find a fi I e. 

The first step is to tranfer each file to 
a disk which contains a particular 
category. If there is not enough room on 
one disk for all the files in the 
category, then set up a second disk and a 
third and a fourth if necessary. 

Step number two consists of making a 
master file of all of your disks by using 
the "YANC" program which is available 
from the public domain (#159 from KUG 
Library}. I have set up the categories by 
numbering each disk with a minus (-) and 
a 3 digit number. This number will appear 
as the first file on each disk directory. 
The Yanc file will enable you to number 
each disk. I have arranged the categories 
for my files as follows: 

From To 



CALC AND FINANCES 050—090 

UTILITIES 100—150 

MODEM 160—170 

WORDSTAR 180—200 

CUSTOM FONTS 210—220 

WRITER-SPELLER 230—240 

FILER 250—270 

GAMES 300—320 

SPECIAL PROGRAMS 350—400 



After entering all disks into the Yanc 
master file, make a printout of the 
master directory, eliminating repetitive 
files that may appear on every disk (PIP, 
D, COPY, etc.). This master file will 
enable you to locate each file at a 
glance. 

But there is more each disk should 

then have a directory printout taped on 
its sleeve. 

This system has made my life much more 
p I easant .

HBACK and H*SOFT Review 

by Arlene Smith 

Well, it finally happened. All 10 megs 
filled up. Operation was so s-l-o-w. 
Files were fragmented. A MASSIVE cleanup 
and reorganization was imperative. 

Of course, we had insufficient backups of 
the Kaypro 10 hard disk. After all, who 
has the time to spend backing up 10 megs 
of junk ... er, stuff... er, important 
files. An efficient backup system was 
vital . We tried HBACK. 

HBACK uses the third of the defined CP/M 
status flags, ARC. (The first two are SYS 
and R/0). When you do a full backup with 
HBACK, set this flag to "A." The next 
time you access the file, HBACK will 
unset the flag. When you do a daily (or 
incremental) backup, specify only those 
files that do not have the ARC flag set. 
Simple and fast. 

However, the flag routine can't identify 
changes in randomly accessed files, such 
as dBASE .DBF or .NDX files. You have to 
tell HBACK to change these flags. It's 
not a big deal, however. 

HBACK computes how many disks a backup 
requires, and tells you before the 
procedure begins. No more starting a 
backup and running out of disks when 
there are only two more files to go. 

We also added a ROM enhancement, H*S0FT. 
H*S0FT requires the replacement of one of 
the Kaypro »s chips and the reformatting 
of the directory tracks. In return, you 
get an additional 1MB of storage. So, I 
now have a 10 MB hard disk with an 11 MB 
capacity. Not bad. It even seems to work 
faster. 

Another H*S0FT feature is the directory 
program, C.C0M. It shows the file name 
and size, and the status of the SYS, R/0 
and ARC flegs. Type C <DRIVE>: <USR> to 
see the directory of a particular user 
area, or C <DRIVE>: . (period) to see all 
files in all user areas. 

HBACK and H*S0FT, by Hu I I and Software , 
are available from Invent Software, 199 
Willis Ave., Mineola, NY 11501. Prices: 
HBACK alone, $49.95. H*S0FT alone, 
$75.00. Both, $100.00.

Port to Port 

by Katherine Loukides 

Files can be moved easily between a NEC 
PC-8201A lap computer and a Kaypro. 
Though the NEC comes with four manuals, 
documentation on transferring files is 
scanty. 

Here is the procedure for transferring a 
file from the NEC to the Kaypro after 
STATing the NEC at 3I71XS: 

1) Attach the RS-232C cable to 
appropriate ports on both machines and 
turn them on. 

2) Place the MODEM disk in Drive A and a 
formatted disk in Drive B. 

3) At the NEC main menu, move the cursor 
to the file to be transferred. Do NOT 
press <CR>. 

4) At A> type MODEM <CR> (or whatever 
your telecommunications program is 
ca 1 1 ed] . 

5] Type T B : <FI LENAME . EXT> <CR>. 
(Filename need not be the same as on the 
NEC.) 

6) Wait a few seconds until the Kaypro 
falls silent. Enter Ctrl-Y. 

7) When the Kaypro screen reads "Memory 
buffer open" and you see a colon, press 
"Save" (function key f-2) on the NEC. 
Answer "Save <filename> as:" with COM: 
<CR>. Answer "Ready?" with Y. Watch the 
file print out on the Kaypro screen. 

8] When the screen clears, enter Ctrl-E. 

9) Type WRT after the three beeps. This 
writes your file to the disk. 

10} Type CPM at the next command request 
to get back to the CP/M prompt. 

11) Check dir at A>. The file should be 
I isted . 

12) At A> type TYPE B: <FI LENAME. EXT > to 
verify that the file is on Drive B. 

13) Replace the MODEM disk with a word 
processing program, warm boot, and format 
the fi I e. 



To transfer a .DO (document) file from a 
Kaypro disk to the NEC, you will need 
PIP.COM on the disk. The NEC will give 
the extension .DO to any transferred 
file. 

1) Attach the RS-232C cable to both 
machines and turn them on. 

2) Place your file disk in Drive A and 
warm boot. 

3) On the NEC, place the cursor over 
TELCOM. Hit <CR>. 

4) Press function key f-5 (Term). 

5) Press function key f-3 (Echo). That 
word will disappear from the screen. 

6) Press function key f-5 again. (Now it 
reads "Down.") 

7) Answer "File to download?" with a 
filename (no extension; the NEC will 
automatically give it the extension .DO). 
It does not have to be the same name as 
on the disk. This is the name the NEC 
will list on its main menu with the 
extension .DO. 

8) The cursor will move to the next line 
and the word "Down" will appear in 
inverse video. The NEC is now ready to 
receive. 

9) At A> type PIP TTY : =<F I LENAME .EXT > . 
Don't forget the colon after TTY. Use the 
full name of the file as it appears on 
the disk, including the extension, if 
any. 

10) Hit <CR>. The file will echo on the 
NEC screen. 

11) When the complete file has been 
downloaded and the Kaypro screen shows 
A>, press "Down" (f-5) again. 

12) Then press f-10 (Bye). 

13) To get back to the main menu, press 
f-10 a second time. 

14) At the main menu you will see your 
file listed. Move the cursor to the 
filename and hit <CR>. Your file will 
appear. 

You can now write "on the run." 



PW Underline Solutions 

Academic PW users with dot matrix 
printers are frustrated by the inability 
of Perfect Formatter's footnote and 
underline commands to uti I ize the true 
inalf-lme] superscripting and continuous 
underlining capabilities of their 
printers. Here are solutions to each 
p rob I em . 

Write files with footnotes embedded in 
the text for ease of composition. Set the 
style parameter for bottom-of-page notes, 
and don't worry about "note wrap" errors 
when printing rough drafts. For the final 
draft, set the style • parameter for 
endnotes, and utilize the quick and easy 
Backgrounder macro described in 
Plu*Perfect Writer's Backgrounder manual 
[first edition) to move the notes 
sequentially into a separate buffer. Work 
one file at a time until all the notes 
for your chapter or paper are assembled 
in a single buffer, then write the buffer 
to disk as a note fi le. 

Then, define another even simpler 
Backgrounder macro to replace the 
<§*iote[word word word] strings in every 
file with the following string: 



@I"@ref'note"»@set"note=+1". At the 
beginning of the first file for the 
chapter put ©set (note=1 ) . Repeat these 
steps for the note file if you wish to 
produce superscripted numbers in the 
notes [see KUGRAM 3/4, p. 4). Finally, 
set the page counters appropriately for 
this and other chapters. 

One must then use PFCONFIG to define PW's 
italics command [question 23] as the 
printer's superscript on/off toggle. 

PW users will note that this method 
preserves Perfect Formatter's ability to 
automatically renumber footnotes if 
changes are subsequently made in the 
draft, as in the split screen method 
described in KUGRAM 1/3, p. 10 and 2/5, 
p. 15. Users inexplicably without the 
Backgrounder should use this split screen 
method while composing but substitute the 
note string described above for PW's note 
or superscript commands. 

PFCONFIG can be used to define the 
boldface string in every device type 
[question 21) as the printer's continuous 
underline on/off toggle. 



The resulting continuous underlines, 
however, bleed across blank spaces and 
margins to the next non-space character 
One must therefore define a keyboard 
character as a non-printing ASCII 
character, and place this character in 
the text after every underlining. 

I used the »%" character because other 
less used characters were defined for the 

Pm?r F T Ch character set. Enter 
PFCONFIG and select option 5, "Edit 
character translation tables." Select 
Table 0, and confirm that every character 
translates into itself. Then change the 
character of your choice to an ASCII 
control character that is meaningless to 
your printer. 

Return to the main menu and select option 
4, Edit character width tables." Select 
Table 0, and define the width of "%'» as 0 
micas. Make sure the values of all other 
characters are 254 micas, including 
number 127 (the non-printing delete 
character) if you wish Perfect Formatter 

Jnr>n^ b,e Space between sentences (see 
KUGRAM 2/3, p. 10, but note that a value 
of 254 micas gives two blank spaces 
between sentences). The zero width of the 
non-printing character will prevent it 
messing up right justification and 
centering. 

Then answer "Yes" (and "Table 0") to 
questions 7 and 17 in the definition menu 
of every desired printer device. 

PW's sectioning commands ("©unnumbered" 
etc.) can no longer be used because they 
will underline instead of boldfacing. To 
retain the boldface command one can 
alternatively use the character 
translation table to define another 
seldom used character as the "EscaDe" 
toggle. K 

Futhermore, since each separately 
underlined word must be surrounded by 
formatting commands, one might do better 
to mark underlining initially with PW's 
regular underline command, and then skim 
through the text at final draft time with 
3 or 4 keys defined with Backgrounder to 
enter the @B()% commands.

Kaypro Upgrading 



by: Blake Van Meter 
People Talk Associates 

Imagine a Kaypro with floppy drives that 
run like a hard disk, or with a hard 
drive which rivals the speed of ram- 
disks. This Kaypro is not an electronic 
Volkswagen but a turbo-computer of 
incredible speed and versatility. 

Imagine your original, Kaypro supplied 
hard disk providing almost 12 megabytes 
of storage and allowing you to divide it 
into seven different logical drives. The 
screen is faster and will turn itself off 
to save the CRT; you can dump screen 
contents from any program. Available 
memory is increased. 

Too good to believe? Until now, yes. Now 
your Kaypro can be the computer of your 
dreams with the installation of only ONE 
product. 

EVERY Kaypro should have one, and 
probab I y wi I I . 

The TurboROM is the joint effort of 
Advent Products and Plu*Perfect Systems, 
two companies well known for their top 
quality products and support. 

The TurboROM transforms the Kaypro by 
correcting its biggest problem, disk 
speed [comparable to funnel ing Niagara 
Falls through a sewer pipe), with the 
implementation of a vastly more efficient 
disk format. The results: 

— The floppy disk reads 5 times and 
writes 4 times faster with 256 directory 
entries avai I ab I e. 

— The original Kaypro hard disk runs 3 
to 4 times faster and can be reformatted 
to provide almost 12 megabytes storage 
(almost 3 megabytes are currently lost to 
Kaypro 's primitive formatting, Read/Write 
head landing areas, and error/bad sector 
handl ing) . 

During the format process the physical 
drive can be divided into seven logical 
drives of up to 8 megabytes each and 
directory space and data block size can 
be specified. 



Actual speed increases from the above 
enhancements are demonstrated by a timed 
comparison of saving the entire 64K of 
RAM contents to a standard Kaypro 4 disk: 
55 seconds [Kaypro) to 14 [TurboROM)! 

The above measurement involves writing to 
disk only. Perhaps a more meaningful test 
is a timed comparison of reading and 
writing to disk. Loading four Perfect 
Writer files totaling 64K takes 68 
seconds on a standard Kaypro and only 54 
seconds on the TurboROM machine. Loading 
files into PW involves reading portions 
of a file from disk and writing it to the 
swap file, then repeating the process 
until all data has been read. 

According to our tests the TurboROM can 
increase performance from between 25% and 
400%. Obviously, the individual time 
saved varies greatly, depending entirely 
upon the nature of the task. 

Speed enhancement is the most valuable 
benefit from TurboROM installation, but 
there are many others: 

1. Extra drives are supported (up to 112 
megabytes with an external cabinet). 

2. Programs to run extra drives and ram- 
disks are contained in ROM. 

3. Kaypro 10 TPA (available memory) 
is increased to 63K. 

4. Screen dump is available at any time; 
automatic timed CRT shutoff. 

5. Optional multi-format program ($49); 
runs extremely fast. 

6. Automatically recognizes six formats: 
Kaypro II and 4 

(84 models read Xerox and Osborne SD) 

Micro Cornucopia 

Osborne DD (Double-Density) 

Advent 40 and 80 track drives 

7. Installation requires no soldering 
or permanent modification. 

Not only is the installation of the 
TurboROM itself extremely easy, it also 
comes with installation software which 
automatically builds a new CP/M boot 
disk.

Enemies of Kaypro®... 
Spikes, 

Surges, and Noise 

The Kaypro has enemies. But now you can 
protect it from the mish mash of electrical 
currents that race through your home or 
business. Powerful up-surges of current can 
actually blow out your machine. Less 
powerful, barely noticeable spikes, surges, and 
noise can silently degrade your system in 
time, ruining chips, destroying data, and 
causing expensive service calls. 

The Kaypro manual states, 'Line filtering 

will protect your Kaypro... from power surges or other undesirable 
occurrences from the power source." Surge protection will help your Kaypro 
provide years of trouble-free service. Also, if you plan to use your Kaypro 
to access information by modem, you must have a reliable high frequency 
noise (EMI/RFI) suppressor to insure against data loss and scrambling. 

There are many "toy" surge suppressors on the market. They are smartly colored, but beware. The performance 
difference is amazing. The best surge and noise suppressors on the market are made by Panamax. Our 
"Panamax Challenge Certificate" tells all. It is a startling comparison of Panamax quality with 11 other well- 
known brands. One aspect of this revealing report tells how Panamax responds to and cuts surges in 5 or less 
pico seconds, while most other suppressors respond at a comparatively slow 5 to 50 nanoseconds! 

Check our regular low prices. Try the Panamax of your choice for 15 days. Receive the "Panamax Challenge 
Certificate" with your purchase. If not completely satisfied with your purchase, return for immediate full refund. 
Your Kaypro deserves Panamax protection, the best there is. Order today.

Do You Wish Writing Was Easier? 

If you need to write, or want to write clearly, your Kaypro and the software program 
Punctuation and Style can help you get there faster. It improves, clarifies, and enriches your 
writing by identifying sentences with misused, redundant, faulty, cliched, or erroneous phrases, 
and shows you how to improve them. It helps you rewrite and check your work by quickly 
marking and annotating your files for easy correction. In addition to computer-fast identification 
of awkward, muddy, pompous, and wordy sentence structure, it also finds missing or improper 
punctuation, unbalanced quotes, wrong abbreviations, faulty capitalizations, and much more. 
Punctuation and Style actually improves your writing by mercilessly pointing out grammatical 
errors. After a few weeks with Oasis System's Punctuation and Style your writing is bound to 
become more dynamic, expressive, and honest. In time, you'll stop worrying about grammar and 
work on projecting ideas instead. After all, that's what writing is about. 

Punctuation and Style makes writing and rewriting much easier. The list price of Punctuation and 
Style is $125. Central's price is $95. Experience the power of this valuable "Punctuation 
Checking and Writing Improvement Software" yourself. Order today to get this program fast. 

Punctuation and Style works on files created with Wordstar or Perfect Writer. It comes with an easy to use, clearly written 
manual and is packaged in an attractive binder. Join thousands who now write with more confidence, faster, and better. 

Perfect Kaypro® Stand 

Simple, strong, 
„ sturdy, safe. 
These words 
describe an 
attractive, 
angled stand 
that provides 
a perfect spot to 
place your Kaypro. 

This stand is made from rounded, steel rods 
covered with a thick, shiny, soft, black 
polymer material that protects your Kaypro 
and table top from scratches. Unlike flat wood 
or acrylic panels used in other stands, the 
tough supporting rods of the Smart Stand 
(TM) do not obstruct air flow. In fact, since 
your Kaypro is lifted off the table top and 
gently angled by this stand, air rises up from 
under your computer, and flows freely 
through it to help keep it cool. When you're 
finished computing, you can slide the 
keyboard completely under the stand to create 
a working area on your desk. The Smart 
Stand is a super value at $34.95. Try it for 15 
days. If not completely satisfied, send it back 
for a full refund. Matching 80 or 132 column 
printer stands are only $19.95 or $23.95.

Menu Manager 



A psychologist by profession, I have 
accumulated almost 3.0 megabytes of 
special applications programs for my 
testing practice. Since I had to add my 
own list of programs to the hard disk, 
the problem became how to manage and 
access all these programs with a 
minimum of fuss and bother. The 
solution was the Menu Manager from P&B 
Computer Services, Inc. 

The Menu Manager allows you to design 
and generate your own master menu to 
access any program that will run on your 
computer. If you have a program such as 
ELIZA.COM on user 11, you don't have 
type USER 11 <CR>, and then key in ELIZA 
<CR>. You can add this selection to 
your own master menu and enter the 
program simply by selecting ELIZA on 
the master menu with the arrow keys. 

Menu Manager is easy to use, as its 
operation is entirely menu-driven. 
You put in your own program titles and 
narrative explanations for both the 
master and sub-menu selections. After 
choosing the appropriate user area for 
program location, you may use up to six 
command lines which provide the 
operating instructions for the computer. 
I have found these six lines to be more 
than adequate, even for sequential 
access to two different programs. 

Menu Manager allows 10 main menu lines 
or selections, each of which can contain 
up to 10 sub-menu selections for a total 
of 100 possible menu items. Once you 
have designed your menu the way you want 
it, you can always change it again with 
ease. You can even swap lines on both 
the main and sub-menu selections to 
rearrange your menu items. The program 
also has a provision for printing all 
the menu lines and descriptions. 

More information about Menu Manager may 
be obtained from P&B Computer Services, 
Inc., 13701 N.E. Be I -Red Road, Bellevue, 
WA 98005. Menu Manager sells for $89.95 
+ $3.00 for shipping and handling. 
Kaypro 10 and Kaypro 16 versions are 
avai table.

CP/M Stuff 



In the previous two issues of KUGRAM we 
discussed the use of PIP and SUBMIT in 
developing a menu driven program. In this 
column we will set up the computer to go 
right to the menu as soon as you turn on 
the computer or when you cold boot 
(reset.) 

Ready? Place the disk you created with 
the menu and SUBMIT.C0M [or P. COM if you 
renamed the file) in drive B and your 
working copy of CP/M in drive A. 

At the A> prompt type COPY. Select 0 for 
Other. When the new screen appears select 
S for Sysgen. (It doesn't matter if your 
disk is already sysgened.) Now type 
<RETURN>. At the ==> type SUBMIT AUTO. 

At this time there is no file named 
AUTO. SUB but there is a file that you 
created named 4. SUB. That was the submit 
file that displayed the menu. 

So ... REName 4. SUB = AUTO. SUB. 

Now transfer your modified disk from 
drive B to drive A. Reset the machine 
using the button in the back of the 
Kaypro (cold boot). How about that? 

Why didn't we just use SUBMIT 4 instead 
of SUBMIT AUTO? Well, we could have. 
However, using the AUTO allows us to set 
up as many SUB files as we like on the 
same disk. Then RENaming one of them to 
AUTO .SUB will cause that file to be 
activated AUTOmatica I I y upon boot up. 

Another thing you should do when creating 
SUB files is to be sure that the last 
line of the file reads TYPE MENU. In that 
way, when you finish your program and 
return to the system, the SUBMIT file 
wi 1 1 take over and the menu wi I I be 
displayed again. 

If you move to another USER area, make 
sure that you come back to USER 0 so that 
the menu can be displayed.

To complete our mission to FORMGEN, we'll 
set some data entry standards and build 
them into the form, add a new field at 
the end of the record that will always 
contain data (necessary to use the file 
with Mai IMerge) , and arrange for that 
data to be generated by DATASTAR. 

NOTES: <CR> = press the RETURN key. 
<key name> = Press the indicated key. 
underlined text = text entered by you. 

Preparation: Boot your system and insert 
disks in the proper drives. 

Startup: FORMGEN <dri ve>:NAMES<CR> 

Task 1: Set data entry standards for the 
last name field and build them into the 
form. The standards are: 1) Every record 
requires the entry of a last name; 2) 
Every last name must be at least two 
characters long; 3) All characters in the 
Last Name field must be CAPITAL letters; 
if entered in lower case, have the 
program convert them. 

Using cursor control keys move cursor 
onto an asterisk in the Last Name field. 

<CTRL-R> Most of your form will be 
replaced by a row of underscores and the 
words "Field Name." This is the first of 
a series of choices. All choices can be 
accepted as presented, or changed as you 
requi re. 

LNAME <CR> (Optional, but useful when we 
use ReportStar) . 

<CR> to accept the default (preset) 
values until the prompt reads "Required? 
(Y/N)"; default should say "N." 

Y To require operator entry to this 
field. 



<CR> until the prompt reads: "Edit mask? 
(Y/N)"; default "N." 

Y to tell FORMGEN how we want our data to 
look. You will now see the "Entry 
Control" screen, its list of choices, and 
a place to indicate your choice. 

JJ_<CR> to require the entry of at least 
two characters. The new screen gives you 
the "Entry Control" choices. 



C in every space of the field, to tell 
DataStar to convert any lower case letter 
to upper. The last prompt is "Record edit 
character? (Y/N)"; default "N." 

<CR> Don't record edit character. 

Task 2: Add a field for an ID Number at 
the end of the record. Have DataStar 
generate the actual numbers. 

<cursor control keys> until LIN=7. 

ID. NUMBER: 

<space> unti I C0L=12 

<CTRL-Q> 4 times. 

<CTRL-S> once (to move the cursor back 
into the field) . 

<CTRL-R> (Begin the field-defining 
process). The prompt is "Field Name." 

IDNO <CR> 

<CR> until prompt reads "Field Derived? 
(Y/N)"; default "N." 

Y to change the default. 

<CR> until prompt is "Calculate/File? 
(C/F)"; default "F." 

C Change the default to "Calculate." 

<CR> until prompt reads: "Enter algebraic 
expression for field: 

IDNO = " IDNO + 1<CR> Add 1 to whatever 
the IDNO is to make a new number. 

<CR> to look at and accept the rest of 
the prompts and return to the form; or, 
<CTRL-C> to return immediately. 

<CTRL-CB> to save your form and return to 
the operating system. (Enter slowly to 
see the prompts) . 



Debriefing: Our form is complete, 
protected, and ready to accept data. 
(Type DATASTAR and follow the prompts, or 
wait until next time, when we'll do it 
together and prevent any unsettling 
surprises.) You are ready to start 
designing your own forms with data entry 
standards that meet your needs.

Sysop's Corner 



by Frank Fa I Ion 

We receive mail from users of KUGBBS 
about line noise and problems accessing 
the system. There are sometimes problems 
with bad telephone lines over which we 
have no control. The problems are caused 
by poor quality telephone lines and 
switching circuits. Poor lines, low 
carrier levels, and noise all add up to 
problems accessing any system. The 
problem can be anywhere in the connect 
path. It may be in your local office or 
ours or somewhere in between. High 
humidity and summer conditions seem to 
make it worse. There is little that can 
be done except to disconnect and call 
again hoping for a different path and a 
clean line on tire next connect. 

Line noise is usually more pronounced at 
higher speeds. You may see noise at 1200 
but not at 300. Dropping to the lower 
speed may make a session possible. 

You may want to hang on to the old modem 
for those systems such as KUGBBS which 
are only 300/1200.

Sysops of RCP/Ms want only CP/M users or

installed very simply protection to keep 
out those who have other operatinc

familiar with CP/M before you get on-line 
with their system. They assume that you 
know that PIP is the the copy program and 
also the kid from Great Expectations. You 
should also know that DDT is the Dynamic

WORDSTAR by Chiang 

QUICK MOVEMENT COMMANDS 

The Ctrl-Q prefix begins a very useful 
group of commands. Aside from the search 
and replace functions, there are the 
Quick movement commands. The prefix, when 
added to cursor commands, roughly 
translates to the action of directly 
going where repetition of the original 
command would lead. 

The commands in the original cursor 
movement diamond, Ctrl -E, -S, -0, and -X, 
can all be prefixed with Ctrl-Q. Doing so 
moves the cursor as far in the original 
direction as the screen allows. The 
commands move the cursor to the top of 
screen, beginning of line, end of line, 
and bottom of screen, respectively. This 
instantaneous movement is much faster 
than using the repeating arrow keys. 

Large scale movement is possible with 
Ctrl-Q R and Ctrl-Q C. These bring you to 
the beginning and end of the document, 
without having to repeat Ctrl-R or Ctrl-C 
endlessly. Continuous scrolling is 
possible with Ctrl-Q W and Ctrl-Q Z. 
These cause the text to move downwards 
and upwards, scrolling a line at a time, 
until another key is pressed. Entering a 
number from 1 to 9 alters the speed of 
the scroll (a patched version of WordStar 
will also increase the speed). These 
commands can be useful for skimming a 
document quickly, or to locate a 
particular passage. 

Various markers, left by the Ctrl-K 
prefix, can be used with the Ctrl-Q 
prefix. The <B> and <K> markers that 
define a block of text can be located by 
entering Ctrl-Q B or Ctrl-Q K. Place 
markers can be set et any particular 
point in the document with a Ctrl-K 
<numfrer>; this leaves a marker (from <1> 
to <9>J at a paragraph of interest. To 
refer back to one of those points, simply 
enter Ctrl-Q <number>. 

Another handy command is Ctrl-Q P, which 
moves the cursor to its Previous location 
before the last command or keystroke. If 
you check the text at one of your place 
merkers, you csn move back to your 
starting point with this command. 

Or, if you're working in the middle of a 



paragraph, and you want to look at the 
screen preceding it, you can do so with 
Ctrl-R, and then return to where you left 
off with Ctrl-Q P. 

A couple of deletion commands are also 
available with the Ctrl-Q prefix. Ctrl-Q 
Y deletes from the cursor to the end of 
the line, while Ctrl-Q <DEL> deletes to 
the beginning of the line. 

A final command, mentioned last issue, is 
Ctrl-Q Q. This will repeat the next 
keystroke or command, even a two 
keystroke commend, indefinitely until 
another key is pressed. Like the 
continuous scrolling commands, the speed 
can be controlled by hitting e number 
from 1 to 9. Its main use is for global 
reformetting [keep hyphen-help off). 

A FEW MISCELLANEOUS NOTES 



You can check the size of the file you're 
working on by turning off onscreen paging 
and moving to the end of the file. The 
status line then gives the file size in 
characters, or bytes. 

If your disk is too full to save your 
latest work, erase the file WSMSGS.OVR. 
It is not necessary for WordStar's 
operation; if you know the program well, 
you can save spsce by never putting it on 
your disks. 

Ctrl-0 G sets the left margin temporarily 
(until the next carriage return) at one 
tab stop inward. It's good for composing 
outlines, or indenting text in general. 

If your printer has a DIP switch for line 

and serial mode, set it to line. Then 

WordStar will fill whatever buffer the 

printer has, keeping your drives from 
spinning for the entire printout. 

A quick, imperfect way to switch between 
single and double spacing is to insert a 
dot command at the top of the document. 
Doubling or halving the default line 
height (by entering .LH 16 or .LH 4) 
chenges a single spaced document to 
double spacing, and vice versa. The 
formet of peragraph breaks does not 
change, though.

In Response ... 




...To help organize your hard disk, move 
related files to one user area, and use 
the SAVE 0 routine to name that area 
[i.e. SAVE 0 -DBASE). On Drive A User 0, 
create a directory entry that tells you 
where to find those files (i.e. SAVE 0 
-DBASE. A2) . 

...If you wear glasses and suffer from 
eyestrain from too many hours in front of

...To run a .COM file from the system 
prompt, type <filename> <CR>. Do NOT type 
the .COM extent. 

...You may read an ASCII file from the

command TYPE. (TYPE <fi I ename .ext><CR>) . 
Note that .COM files are not ASCII files. 
Trying to TYPE these files will give you

Library Disk Orders 

Send $10.00 (for each disk] to KUG 
Library, Box 100, Malverne, NY 11565. DO 
NOT SEND US ANY DISKS. Be sure to mention 
the disk name, number, your mailing 
address and ID number. Save 20% by 
ordering any six KUG Library disks for 
the price of five. Send us the names and 
numbers of the six disks you want along 
with a check for $50.00 to the address 
above. Make sure your KUG ID number is on 
your check. 



Perfect Filer v. 1.2 can be used with the 
function keys as well as the control 
codes because it reconfigures keys when 
it signs on: 

up-arrow becomes *P (normally ~K] 

down-arrow becomes "N (normally \J] 
left-arrow becomes ~B (normally ~H) 
right-arrow becomes *F (normally ~L] 
Unfortunately, it doesn't reset them to 
their normal values when the program is 
exited. Since I was using my Kaypro 10 
with the MASMENU, I didn't notice this 
for a while because the MASMENU program 
resets the keys itself, and exiting from 
PF causes a return to the MASMENU. Cold 
boot to reset arrow keys after using PF. 
— Carl Speed 

Just this week I successfully mated my 
KII with our office word processor. The 
technique is too simple to believe. 
First, get both machines connected with a 
null modem cable — pins 2 and 3 cross 
connected. Second, run SM0DEMK or other 
smart modem program on your machine, and 
an equivalent program on the other 
machine. Get both machines into the term 
mode (i.e., <T B:text.doc> in SM0DEMK) . 
At that point you should be able to 
communicate directly from one keyboard to 
the other screen. Finally, to send data 
(ASCII text is all I've tried), use the 
informal file send command to send your 
file. Use the appropriate receive command 
from the other program, and there you 
have it. We tried XMODEM and others 
before we hit on this simple method. 
— Joe Ruh 

Re columns in WordStar: Reformat to 
desired width of finished columns (~B). 
For example, if you compose with 
of, say 60 columns and you want 
columns to be 20 each, change 
margin ( A 0R) to 20 and re-format. Count 
number of total lines, or decide how many 
are to be on page. Use Column Move ( ~KN) 
toggle (not on early versions of WS) . 
Turn Insert OFF (*V). Reset right margin 
to total width of 2 columns plus 
wehatever space you want between them 
(e.g., 20 plus 5 plus 20 = 45). Mark what 
will become RH copy with "KB and *KK. 
Place cursor in first space to be 
occupied by RH copy and ~KV. Be sure 
insert is OFF! It can do 2, 3, 4 or more 
blocks side by side.

"SMALLBOOK"© 



(»( » very ssall sricc) 

At last, a sensible easy-to-use microcomputer- 
bookkeeping program designed with the small 
business in mind. Combining CHECKBOOK and a 
GENERAL ENTRY LOG in one file, SMALLBOOK was 
designed for the Small-Business person, operatinq a 
cash-type business. 

It isn't necessary to be a bookkeeper or accountant to 
operate SMALLBOOK. There is ample "POINT-OF-NEED" 
help. It is "MENU" & "QUESTION" driven. There are 
back-out options in case you err in entry, and a full 
editor in case you go too far. You can even go back 
and insert a missing entry or remove a duplicate and 
then print out corrected reports. 

A year in writing, SMALLBOOK is in daily use today, 
providing ease of operation where drudgery went 
before.
